Is it better to be alone or stay with someone that makes you miserable.
PS. You can support yourself easily.

If you are miserable, then you make others around you miserable. Definitely being alone is much better. You will probably get back to your old, happy self and realize that life is about happiness, not being miserable the rest of your life.

Marriage shouldn't be about being able to support yourself or not but unfortunately more often than not that's how it ends up.
With that said I personally have never stayed in a relationship that I was unhappy in but then again I'm not very happy alone either.
Unless you are the type of person that is happy alone try fixing the problems in your marriage. I think it seems easier to move on to something new but if it can be fixed it may be worth the effort. I bet my grandmother would agree.

You would be better off alone. Why stay with someone that makes you miserable. Go it alone and live your life.

Would you rather be happy or miserable? That's a question that you need to ask yourself ~ think of a time when you were happy, do you think you enjoyed it, if so ~ did you enjoy it more than a time right now that you're in?
I know I wouldn't want to be miserable, but people that have dealt with it for SOOOOO long are more than likely either so use to it that they don't know anything else or they're just in a stuck situation. But if it was me, I would want to be happy which would answer that question for me right away.

The question presumes that you are married, not merely contemplating marriage. If you are married, and this is not a hypothetical question, then it is better to stay married, and stop being miserable. There and many, many things you can do to improve a marriage and make it enjoyable. Rather than leave the marriage OR remain miserable, take what's behind Door Number 3: happiness within your marriage.

Better off alone. Never stay in a bad relationship.

Better off alone. Staying in a bad relationship causes nothing but misery.

I think a lot of societal norms are influenced from the feminine perspective and promoted by men's necessary attempt attract women. On a lot of levels women are not as individualistic as men (going to the bathroom together) so they promote commitment and society formed to adopt this. Keep being yourself and keep up the good work

Why are you unhappy? Does your spouse know about your unhappiness?
Maybe you should seek marriage counseling. You made a commitment through thick and thin. Not knowing all the circumstances surrounding your problem I have to say don't bail on the first sign of trouble.
Talk to your spouse, you loved him/her once before, enough to marry him/her. What has changed?
